115. The pitfalls of the Fiat standard: Marty Bent interviews Saifedean Ammous

Fiat money does not only affect economic exchanges, its impact on society is much broader. In this episode, Marty Bent, host of the Tales from the Crypt podcast, interviews Saifedean about how fiat currency encourages negative societal impacts ranging from climate alarmism to land degradation to poor diet. They focus on the widely accepted need to shift from fossil fuels to "renewable" energy and how public funding of science encourages the publication of studies that predict disasters and propose state intervention to avoid them. . They also discuss how government statistics are manipulated to minimize the negative impacts of fiat and how people can opt out by adopting a Bitcoin standard.
